What he said

On restricting AFL-listed Magpie Josh Smith“It’s not often you get to play on blokes that you watch on TV every week. I was super grateful for the having that experience. It was a little different to what I’m used to.

“I’ve never really played that lockdown sort of role, but I enjoyed it and I embraced it.

“Anything that I can do to help the team out, I’m willing to do. I’ll sacrifice my own game for the team’s success and play my role.”

What the coach said – Gavin Brown

“Initially we weren’t sure what position he was going to play, but he had a terrific season.

“It worked out that he played some fantastic footy down back for us. His ability to win the ball was first-class this year and he gave us really good drive off half-back.

“He boasts a really nice foot and is really evasive. We gave him a couple of jobs to do, in particular on Josh Smith, who he completely shut-out of the game.

“He really did have a fantastic season.”
